Why is it necessary to keep raw and cooked food separate?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: To prevent spread of contamination
Raw meat, eggs, poultry, vegetables or unwashed foods may carry harmful microorganisms. If they touch cooked food, knives, boards or hands, cross-contamination can occur. Separating them and using clean utensils reduces the chance that germs will reach ready-to-eat food. Thus option B is correct.
